Because Lea has made this easy to spread the message. I give you her words

RACHEL NABORS NEEDS TEAM COMICS!
Rachel Nabors needs some serious dosh for dental surgery. She’s got no insurance (oh, don’t we know how much fun that is), and she must have the surgery. Rachel is a hardworking young manga-ka who’s created hundreds of pages of manga, and self-published her work.  Rachel also educates and supports other cartoonists through her site, MangaPunk and is a member of the women cartoonists collective Women’s Work.

Here’s her post, with pictures and an explanation of her needs and the PayPal button:

HOW TO BE HELPFUL:
Send whatever you can.
Post your support at her LJ.
Either. Both.
REPOST the URL above and explain what she needs and why. Feel free to copy and paste this post.
Many people giving a tiny bit makes a LOT. Send what you can. When King gets his next check, we’re sending some.

HOW TO BE UNHELPFUL:
Suggesting ANYTHING. Rachel has exhausted avenues for dental school (she doesn’t have one that does surgery), loans (come ON, why is that the default suggestion?),  Hero Initiative, a move to another country (how unbelievably loutish), etc.

Bottom line, Rachel deserves the help. She works hard, she’s worked to make the business better, she’s trustworthy.

Away, my monkeys! Help Rachel! FLY!
